If you were a Brownie in your youth, I hoped you remembered this. Whenever I think back to my youth, Brownie Guides is possibly one of my favourite things. I went to 3rd Tettenhall Brownies, I was a Sixer a.k.a leader of the Sprites. The whole Brownie Guides has such a camaraderie surrounding it. I suppose it's another secondary socialisation which teaches, good manners and just generally being a good member of society. Not only that it was the place where I had the best times. Also it was around in July we'd go to Brownie Camp which was amazing. A weekend away in a cabin with your friends, sleeping in bunk beds staying up chatting after lights went out, it was just fantastic. I always remember one of the times we went to Brownie Camp it was Harry Potter themed. So naturally I was in my element we were sorted into Houses, I was put in Hufflepuff which at the beginning I was livid about but Hufflepuff became the House to be in. We played a muggle version of Quidditch and I was a Seeker, I don't wan't to blow my trumpet but I was amazing. Brown Owl would throw a Golden Snitch every now and then and the two Seekers would have to run after it. This is no word of a lie I caught the snitch the majority of the time, I had a deep connection to the snitch I feel.
Anyway like I said before when I think back to Brownies, I have nothing but blissfully happy memories. If only I was still 9 I could go back, but I'm not.
